7 Interiors Trends Every Guy Can Use To Upgrade His Home
If scalloped pink chairs aren’t for you, give the Gatsby era a small nod with rounded furniture, fringe accents, metallic colours, or even some artwork with a retro feel to it.
“You don’t need to renovate to experiment with this luxe style,” says Miura. “Opt for curved ottomans and dining chairs upholstered in velvet or smaller accessories, like candleholders or trays in blush tones and brass.”
Outdoor Wall Art Indoors
Like stylish coffee table books, artwork is a great way to give any space a refresh, and the best way to make it feel current is to go big. After all, there’s nothing like an extra-large print to command attention in a room.
Impossible-to-get-wrong palm prints have been the go-to in recent years, and they’re sticking around, but there’s also now an emphasis on working insects and birds into the foliage.
But let’s be honest, who wants to spend an afternoon hanging frames? Luckily, you don’t always have to get the hammer out. “These prints look equally impressive resting on the ground or on a shelf as hanging on the wall,” says Amy Penfold from print company King & McGaw. Sold.
Bespoke Furniture
Anyone who’s ever entertained will know that guests congregate in the kitchen (duh, it’s where the beer is). But that’s not exactly ideal for guys with a cramped, cultured space full of Pot Noodles.
The good news is that room layouts, particularly in the kitchen and living rooms, are becoming more creative. “Furniture no longer takes on its expected form, such as a central island that actually looks like a dining table,” says Anthony Crespi, director of Hubble Kitchens & Interiors.
For this reason, tailor-made storage that works with the needs of a room is taking off. “This can provide the perfect framework for creating a luxury walk-in dressing room out of a redundant box room, [because it] works with the space rather than against it.” We’ll take two sneaker closets, please.
